Did Khrushchev bang his shoe at the UN?

Soviet Premier Nikita Krushchev was rumoured to have banged his shoe on his delegation’s desk during a UN General Assembly meeting on 12 October 1960.

Utilizing material from the UN Audiovisual Library, this production explores the moment as captured by UN media coverage and asks: Is the legend fact or fiction? #unga

"By the Motherland, behave yourself. I will give you a taste of my shoe!"

What the actual fuck is this video supposed to tell/show the audience?
No context at all is given. Like what was exactly was said before, presumably in a speech before (like i am already forced to work/think under presumptions and speculations) that made N.Krushchev so furious in opposition, while many other people were applauding?
Followed by his own statements, in which occurding to this video he "objected to the characterization of the Soviet Union [...]" - WHICH KIND OF CHARACTERIZATION?!
while ALSO many people were applauding for? - Rightfully so imo. - Is everyone Bi-polar in this room? [Rhetorical]

Cherry on top is the video description; " [...] Utilizing material from the UN Audiovisual Library, this production explores the moment as captured by UN media coverage and asks: Is the LEGEND FACT OR FICTION"
NOT EVEN ANSWERING YOUR OWN ASKED QUESTION!

I rarely comment on "youtube" videos, cause honestly feels sensless to me. BUT as this Channel declares itself; "UN Story is the official YouTube page for United Nations explainers [...]" I expect(ed) a higher standard from such. And not leaving audience hanging or in a dubious fog of information... State the facts, put in FULL context, and let the audience interpret it.

Reminds me of the time someone said to me: "You will not be able to smother the voice of the people, the voice of truth, which rings aloud and will go on ringing. Death and destruction to colonial servitude! Away with it!" [Couldnt help it :) ]

PS: Not "hatting" on UN. Its sad that in these time [November, 2023] I feel the need to clarify this. CAUSE atleast the UN under pres. Antonio Guterres will currently not go down in history as Genocide deniers. For that utmost respect... eventhough that should be mandatory.

- Peace and Love around the Globe

pps: toke me longer that then whole video.

My Mom told me she has seen it many times since the first time she saw it as a kid. He DID bang his shoe. Only the UN erased it for this video…

[alowens]

Yes he did bang his shoe on the table three times and shouted in English, "We will bury you without firing a shot." I was watching TV with my Grandad Owens, and I saw him do it on live TV. He did it. I am 79-years-old, and I saw him do it. It's not a rumor. It's a fact.

[davideasiebert]

I saw it on Tv he yelled "VE VILL BURY YOU!"

[MifuneBoBune]

I saw him do it live, with my own two eyes. Anything else is a lie. What is the purpose of a site like this?

[JaceyMitchell]

"All the people who are fighting for their independence! Shup up Baltic states, central Asia, and Hungary, you don't need independence in you've got me!"

The Soviets took hypocrisy to a whole 'nother level. Preaching about anti-colonialism while maintaining a huge colonial empire and dedicating much of their resources in the first 25 years of their existence to the re-establishment of Russian imperial borders. 😂

Sad that people once believed in this crock. Downright pathetic that some still do.

[HamiltonRowan-rz]

Yes, he did. I have seen a video of him doing so. I don't know why the UN left images of him doing so out of their news reels, but he did bang his shoe.

[DonMeaker]

A lie. There is video of him banging his shoe.

[A_morgna_wes_core]

So this is the reference where Chancellor Hegel bangs his shoe in suzerain

[lenzotrumpet]

Yes He Dud I saw it I was 10 years old I saw it on TV

[АндрейОтоплениеОкна]

А где полное видео? Опять ложь? Почему?

[royrice]

Krazy Krushchev said in 1960 “your children’s children will live under communism”……GONG! No way Nikita! 🤣🤣🤣

[monichat]

NO Mr K never banged a shoe - Propaganda
It was also reported at the time that Mr K had said ''We will bury you'' - He nevere uttered those words - watch the full video

[jaspercarias]

Pissed off due to a Filipino statesmen speaking his mind😅

[KOl-xjjt]

when u have crazy bomb then can say whatever shit)

[livewire]

They have cherry picked video to prove a lie.
The lie being that Nikita did not bang his shoe on the poddem.

[elixerlife]

Perhaps responses to the fall of the Berlin Wall, India's speeches on decolonization or South Africa's annual justification on Apartheid

[auntfuddyduddy]

I saw him do it on the news. I was a child of 9 or 10 and he said the Communists would take our country through its children. That frightened me and I never forgot it.
